I have previously written a bit about this here:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/55868/1107
Emacs has some defaults that change based on the TERM value. In
particular, default-frame-background-mode is "light" for xterm-like
values of TERM, but not for screen-like values (see normal-top-level
in startup.el). Also, older versions of Emacs do not know about all
the colors that that screen-like terminals support (especially
screen-256color; compare term/xterm.el with term/screen.el (if your
version of Emacs has the latter)). There may be other differences,
but these are the ones I have come across before.
To fix the former, you can customize frame-background-mode to
"light" (or dark) so that all your terminals get the same treatment.
For the latter, you need an updated term/screen.el. You can either
get it from the Emacs source repository, or use the customize
version that in my Gist at
